Good for what it is. A large serving of Mexican fast food, big enough to feed 2 adults in a comfy dining space. Bonus is the well-stocked salsa bar to enhance your meal. We used to really like turning the burrito into enchilada style cuz you get chips, enchilada sauce (moistens the dry tortilla skin), and had come with a small side of guac. Now for addl'l $4, not such a good add-on cuz guac no longer included. Ergo, only 3 stars. read more

The soup was not warm, We were served after 3 people behind us , the man who worked there tried to be friendly but was confused. The woman did not apologize or care. Never again read more

Visited this place during my weekend trip to Oregon and thoroughly disappointed. Rude customer service and so-so food. But aren't all the franchises supposed to be live up to certain standards? read more

I would say it's average, I like it better than Chipotle or QDoba. But we like our hole in the wall, family owned Mexican places lots better. ( Don Chilito, Don Asado, Taco del Sol, Mexicali Express, Ochoa, La Parilla Kitchen). Kid got a big salad with chicken and added guac. Said it was just a salad nothing special. Also had street corn ( available for a limited time), the child loved that and would get it again 9/10. Minion #3 was over to help us move boxes around and had a big chicken burrito with chips and guac. He said it was ok (but not as good as Mexicali Express). My steak quesadilla had a lot of melty cheese, that was good, nice steak, guac, and sour cream. It was good. I liked the cheesiness. My rice was bland and I didn't finish it or save it for later. The salsas were alright. The chips were thin and crisp but not special. Door dash delivered and it was expensive. Might do it again in a pinch but it was pretty generic tbh. read more

if you don't don't realize that Baja Fresh is an easy 5 star, then you don't know what to order. Chicken Quesadilla, Rice And Beans on the side, Baja Salsa, this combo SMACKS been ordering this since I was a little kid, satisfied customer for over 15 years. Just left and went wild, my hands got soaked with salsa, crunched up chips, even apple sauce, and it was WONDERFUL!!! read more

Baja Fresh - Chicken Quesadilla - Fast Food Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This may be the first review I've ever written for my food... I ordered a chicken Mexicano burrito and chicken Baja burrito on Uber eats. Half of the chicken in both burritos were burnt, with some small crcharcoaled pieces tossed in The Mexicano burrito had way to many onions added. Every bite tasted like onion or burnt chicken, such a bad combo... I tossed half of it and spit out 1/4 of it Whoever worked 10/2/25 at 11am... quit, I know you wouldn't eat what you served. read more

I don't normally frequent this fast food business. I was reminded why today: 1 chicken quesadilla 1 burrito bowl (overwhelmed with onions and peppers) Side of chips 2 large drinks Total Price: $40.75!!! We should have gone to Taco Bell! To be fair, food at Baja Fresh was good. It was a clean and orderly establishment. I frankly felt a bit foolish paying so much for this Mexican style fast food. I am elderly and forgetful at times. Will probably be back next year and be shocked again. Will write another review then. read more

Unfortunately this location has jumped the shark. I've been going here for almost 10 years, it was great before covid, barely passing right after, and now just terrible. The person at the register looked suspiciously at the Baja Fresh coupon I got in the mail, as if it was fraudulent. Then reluctantly rang it in. The burrito was dry, chicken was tough and gristly, tortilla gummy and almost translucent, there was too much rice and it was bland, the black beans were dried out too. Green sauce watery. Mango salsa was missing. chips way too salty. The meal was worse than taco bell and less fresh, if you can believe it. Bye Bye Baja Fresh. read more

Food is top notch. If you're willing to deal with their employees to get it. I've eaten here perhaps a dozen times, both in person, pickup, and delivery - and I can honestly say I've had customer service issues about 80% of the time. Not a deal breaker except the employees and management team refuse to accept an ounce of accountability. Whether it's forgetting double meat, forgetting an item, being late with having food ready. They don't always make things right but they do always refuse to accept responsibility and rarely offer to make it right. Good food if you're willing to deal with the bs. read more

Your order contains enough food to last 2 or even 3 meals, depending on how hearty your appetite is. The food is fresh and delicious. Not bad for "fast food!" read more

Realized I never updated this. The manager of the store emailed me within a few weeks of this incident with apologies. They promised some gift cards to be mailed to me so I provided my mailing address. Did I receive anything? Nope. I remember I sent an email about 2 months later asking if anything had been sent. I never heard anything back. I have not visited this location again and never will. They suck. I'll stick to the one in Hillsboro.. Thanks. read more

Food is always good but the recent spike in prices doesn't equate to the food. I just had lunch there and 2 wahoo tacos and a small soda was just shy of $14. No longer an affordable lunch stop. Price of the fish taco in 2019 was $3.49, today was $5.49. They will absolutely lose customers at this rate. read more

Tried to call and change something on my online order before it was made, the guy on the other end of the line hung up on me. Beyond pissed after spending about $80 bucks on this lunch and it was something small too. Beyond rude and uncalled for. Wish there was negative stars in the site. read more

This is my favorite place for Mexican food when I'm not near my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. This location is bigger than the others I have been to. I ordered a carne asada burrito bowl and a drink. They gave me chips to munch on while I waited even though the food came out pretty quick. They have a salsa bar with options for everyone. The burrito bowl was huge! It was very flavorful and mixed well. read more

Baja Fresh - Fast Food Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Standard Baja Fresh. I like their tacos: Shrimp tacos are just awesome. Wahoo (fish) tacos was good (needed the salsa addition). Nacho Burrito: Good. Always a good choice of salsas. read more

You know, I resisted eating at Baja Fresh for so long. I will say that now it is about the only fast food I will eat. I am always impressed that their ingredients are fresh and at some locations you can even see through to their kitchens and see stacks of real fresh fruits and veggies because they actually cut up their own produce etc. Having a non grease option is great so when you are on the go you can feel a touch better about eating "fast food". I like the reliability as well - I know I can count on ordering the same meal and having it consistently taste the same. This location I have gone to for years and they must make their staff happy because I see the same smiling faces behind the counter year after year - they are always VERY friendly and have never messed up an order once for me. read more

I love the salsa bar idea - far more than the actual salsa. I love the emphasis on fresh foods - far more than the actual food. This is not to say that the food is terrible; it isn't. This is to say that the concept behind the restaurant always makes me think I'm going to get something even better than I actually do. It's not bad - certainly better than fast food - but the reality doesn't live up to what I associate with "fresh". read more

Baja Fresh - Fast Food Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I would give an extra 1/2 star if I could. While the food is fresh as the name implies, it's really not that impressive. I had a steak and shrimp burrito. And it was good, but full of pico de gallo mostly. My son ordered nachos, which were ok, but seemed to be lacking cheese. Lots of pico (again) and some really good and fresh guacamole, but not really much cheese. And several chips were chewy and not totally cooked. The wife had a nacho style steak burrito which was LARGE. Bigger than the one I got. The owners/founders are on the right track with the tex mex style. And it certainly fresh. It just didn't do much for me. I guess I enjoyed Rubios better. This place has more selection than Chipotle, but I think I like them a little more. It's just a personal preference. They have good service and are very clean. It's not bad, but also not my cup of tea I suppose. read more

Baja Fresh - Chicken nacho - Fast Food Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

See all

Went last night. Very slow service. Seemed to be only 2 workers. I ordered the cheese nachos. Most of the cheese wasn't even melted. It was a generous portion. Plenty of guacamole and sour cream. Their pico de gallo was great too. It just seemed like an off day for them. They seemed to have lots of online orders to fill. Plus, customers eating there through them off. I waited about 15 minutes for my nachos. I went up to wait for my order since the wait was longer than usual. They had boxed up my order to go. Must have confused it with to go orders. I think my order had been sitting there a while, before I went to get it, because it was cold. read more

So I went to this Baja Fresh thinking I would get a nice a burrito. Instead, I was welcomed with a terrible cashier who spoke to me as if ordering anything was a hassle. I tried to explain what kind of burrito I wanted, (I'm vegan, so I have some restrictions) and she made it difficult to order what I wanted. After ordering she turned around to the staff behind her and proceeded to speak about me in Spanish about the "way I ordered".... (I also speak Spanish) I mean, cmon now lady??? For serious? It's a burrito with rice, veggies, and black beans. I'm not asking you to dip the burrito in liquid gold. My part in this is actually making it a more simple meal. You're welcome. It's not hard to make a burrito. But they managed to ruin that too... No rice whatsoever. And they must have added a cup of water because upon first bite of this burrito, straight up liquid pours out. 0/10 on the burrito. 0/10 on the staff. For whomever is reading these reviews at this location I purchased this burrito at 3:17 p.m. On 7/17/2017. The cashier working at this time is literally causing you to lose business. read more

June 27, 2019 Lunch This was once a great fast food franchise, starting back in the 80s in the San Fernando Valley in California. Where a young man talked his father into investing with him to start a Mexican Restaurant. His dad thought the son was NUTs. The one store turned into a huge franchise and Dad became a millionaire from his small investment in his son and BAJA FRESH. After us not having been in a Baja Fresh for a couple of years I was dumbfounded to walk into this Baja Fresh location. It looks like a low budget taco shop struggling to get by or like a low end SUB shop. Your feet stuck to the floor on the path to place an order. The menu board with it's very small print sets way back in the kitchen requiring binoculars to read it. The HIGH energy that used to be there is gone. The food was mediocre and they no longer have a spirits license, so no Corona with your taco. New franchise owners Kahala Brands out of Arizona have ripped the heart out of BAJA FRESH and made it more like a fast food sub shop. Farewell Baja Fresh. read more

Definitely the best Mexican in Portland which honestly doesn't say much. It's also the best Baja location in PDX. They are also super nice and are clean. read more

Don't expect them to get your order correct and leave things out or in. They don't pay attention and they give you what they give you and don't care about specific requests. Why do they even give the option to order things according to what you like? read more

Usually we order through an online food delivery service. The food is always amazing... never an issue, just gobble, gobble, lol and Baja ahoyyy! Guacamole, salsa and chips always hit the spot! Thanks. read more

I was inspired to write this before they move, Ok they are just going across the parking lot but...its still a move and it motivated me. I really like Baja Fresh. They are a good, and fairly healthy in a fast food world. Somehow though like many three star places I often forget about them then when I go I think "why don't I come here more.'' I even thought of a fourth star, but that says I am a fan.... Really I think they are a bit better then a ok but I am not a fan. So I would give an extra half star if i could but I just can't hit that fourth star. The menu is basically Mexican inspired American food you can eat on a tortilla. They use a lot of vegetables, give you the option of black beans...lots of options to make it healthier. I also like that they offer shrimp a nice change. They have a nice salsa bar to go with their so-so chips and offer guacamole for your meal. They also do take out platters which are really good, I used to work at a place that would get them for us and they were always a hit with the staff. The prices are good. The one thing I always wonder is the refillable cup. I mean yes it saves you...well less then a buck and I would have to take it home wash it put it in something to keep it clean and cary it around in my car for a few months, then remember to take it in with me...just give me a new one. read more

you know the theme song to Cheers..... the line "you want to go where everyone knows your name"? well that is how I feel here. I love this place and this is my regular place to get food. I am greeted depending on who is working either by name or by a smile and recognition. I usually order the same things and usually decline the chips since I have some at home at most times. so.... they always ask.... no chips??? they have very good memories and I love the staff here. The food..... the steak is by taste not good but then if I am craving an asada taco... I go to the street carts. I am in love with their chicken. The baja taco plate is the way I go. I have tried their taquitos, some of the burritos and have never found anything I didnt care for....except the steak but again that is just my tastes. now let me tell you my fav part here..... THE SMOKEY QUESO FUNDITO.... crack.... I am sure the secret ingredient is crack. oh my god..... it is crack. Since everything is made fresh the queso sometimes can be a bit watery or super thick... but I keep coming back. Salsa bar. Try them find your favs and look forward to changing of the seasons. They have one seasonal salsa that changes through out the year. I have never seen this place dirty, the staff is always helpful and the food fresh and wonderful read more

This is a chain store, in a strip mall, so you pretty much know how this is going to go down. Unfortunately when you walk in there's no mariachi band to greet you and hand you margarita, while playing la cucaracha. Actually I'm not sure that's not a plus. You walk in, walk through the stanchions which, unless it's right at lunch or dinner, are usually empty. The menu is over head. I wish that there were more pictures and better descriptions so I would know what was in the various mex-inspired concoctions. You order, you pay, you wait 3-5 minutes they call out your name and you get your food. The food is good. Not great. It's a chain in a strip mall for godsakes. For $5-$10 meal, from a chain restaurant in a strip mall the food is above average. Way better option than the typical fast food joints. Salsa bar with peppers is nice. I like the different flavors and spiceyness, and usually end up with my own frankenstien salsa/pico de gayo. I highly recommend you splurge here. The diablo shrimp burrito isn't on he menu any longer but you can still order it! They also have a happy hour specials that I didn't know about. The facilities are clean, almost too sterile and without any real charm. But if I haven't beaten a dead horse, it's a chain restaurant in a strip mall. It's too be expected. I've been eating here a lot more lately as I'm fat and need to eat better. It's a great alternative to fast food, for marginally more money. 3 stars. No real complaints. Nothing fantastic deserving more stars. read more

Baja Fresh is like the first guy off the bench when you don't feel like traveling to your favorite Mexican place. I like it. I usually just get a basic bean, rice, and cheese burrito with pico de gallo a side of chips. It's just something I picked up from way back in high school (only difference being is Baja Fresh doesn't have RC cola). It's usually super fast even if you got at peak times. Everything really does seem fresh here and it tastes good, so what's not to like? Mostly all Baja Fresh's are usually pretty clean. Parking's not a problem at this location since it's in a small mini mall area. read more

Pretty straight forward stuff. Cheap taco and burrito inspirations done cheaply and quickly. They throw around the term "fresh" a lot and seeing a lot of yelpers here being resistant to their terminology. Let's not kid ourselves. So does Subway. So what do we really think they are trying to get away with here? In terms of trying to eat healthy quickly and cheaply, this could be your least worst option. I'm not going to try to make any claims though that a 1000 calorie burrito is "healthy", however. They don't freeze their food and it's not overly refined. This doesn't mean that it's a high quality product, it's still fast food. One thing I appreciate is the consistency in familiar faces. Every time I go, it's the same people. I'm guessing the staff sticks around for some reason. Makes me feel better about putting my money into a place knowing they take care of their people. Although I haven't been around in a while, at times they even remember my order, even though I order a couple different options. read more

This place is the revamped place from across the parking lot - the old building was just torn down for new and better things! We always get good service here - Verenice is just awesome - which usually means we eat there too much :) but seriously she is great! Carnitas in any dish is always my go too, especially in the Baja burrito! The salads with grilled chicken and the Baja tacos are my other favorites. Good chips, and a great salsa bar! read more

I had never been to Baja Fresh until today and my was I pleasantly surprised! This place had just what I was looking for, pork tacos. Not only did they have authentic tacos, they were some of the best I have had! The staff was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was clean and spacious. My meal was ridiculously cheap, and completely filling. Too bad it's so close to my work.. I will now be there way TOO often. I can't give this place enough praise! read more

The "crave-a-bowl" is a seasonal menu item offered at Baja Fresh that is prepared at the Cedar Hills Baja Fresh location better than other Baja Fresh locations I've been to. I really enjoy the chicken and vegetable "crave-a-bowl" which has a lot of flavor despite having very little fat and no cheese unlike a burrito. I have been to this location several times to get this menu item and the quality is always consistent. read more

Baja Fresh - Chicken and vegetable "crave-a-bowl" at Baja Fresh. Grilled skinless chicken, roasted vegetables, beans and rice. - Fast Food Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

There are so many places to choose from on Cedar Hills when you're on your lunch break. I love me some fish tacos, so I'll stop by every now and then, because its close. A good value overall. I love their salsa bar - the current mango seasonal salsa is so good that I ate it by itself before my food came. I like that they have cilantro on the salsa bar, because I can never have too much of that on my food. And they've got some outdoor seating! While still tasty, the fish is sometimes a bit tough and overcooked. The service is friendly yet inconsistent - sometimes I get my food quickly, sometimes I don't. Most recently they were out of chips, and said they'd bring some to my table with my order, but they forgot. Not huge infractions, but disappointments nonetheless. read more

I frequent this Baja Fresh and have enjoyed this particular location. I've tried other Baja Fresh, but I like the way they make their roasted veggies here. Service is prompt, but sometimes it seems their employees are overworked. Their Baja Chicken bowl is great! Best deal is if you have a Costco membership and buy their discounted gift cards read more

Okay, so Baja Fresh is not really a place that I'd normally write a Yelp review on. But dude... the service at this one was so good!! Haha, first off the people were just ridiculously nice, way more than you'd expect from a fast food type restaurant, and they gave us chips and guacamole to munch on while we waited for our food (which normally costs $3.99 so I'm not really sure why?) and the food really didn't even take that long. Also, their food is as usual pretty delish, but ya know, not anything super special. read more

This location is WONDERFUL! I had a same day, within an hour, catering order for 25 people. No problems at all! My food was hot, fresh, and ready early. They didn't scold me for a rush order like some places do. Thank you, thank you for coming to my rescue. read more

The restaurant was clean, and the food was decent. What sets this place apart from other Mexican fast food restaurants is that Baja Fresh has a good variety of different salsas (six) you can try for free. They give you free tortilla chips too. The employees here were nice, but didn't listen well. I got the wrong meat on my tacos, and when I asked the cashier a question about whether something cost extra, she didn't answer me, and just assumed what I wanted without waiting for me to tell her. The restaurant was not busy at the time, so it's not like there was a lot of competing noise. Some of the items on the menu are too expensive. read more

Sad state of mexican food choices brings this chain to the top of our list of burrito joints. Foods fresh and the salsa bar caters to gringo tongues, nothing too exciting on the menu, grilled fish taco is a passable facsimile of the real deal. I need to try some of the roach coaches perhaps... read more

The kid's meal is pretty great for the price. Lots of selections for picky eaters and a good amount of food. However, DO NOT GET THE STEAK. It was tough and chewy, it was not edible. The flour tortillas stuck to the paper they came in and were tough within minutes. Definitely did not taste "fresh". I wouldn't come here if I didn't have kids. read more

Various type of salsa are serviced in this place. Neat place eventhough there is a construction going on this area but still customers keep coming in. Try their chicken taquitos for sure. read more
